The only time I got to praying for a red light
Was when I saw your destination as a deadline
This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine
Making quiet calculations where the fault lies

The only time I got to praying for a red light
Was when I saw your destination as a deadline
This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine
Making quiet calculations where the fault lies
This is good land, or at least it was
It takes a strong hand and a sound mind
[Verse 2]
The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?
They're correcting all the grammar on a spray paint
And I even gave up driving after nightfall
I got tired of the frat boys with their brights on
This is good land, or at least it was
It takes a strong hand and a sound mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It makes me smile to know when things get hard
Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
Ooh-ooh, you'll be far from here
And, while I clean shit up in the yard
Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
Ooh-ooh, you'll be far, far from here
[Chorus]
So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We ain't angry at you, love
You're the greatest thing we've lost
The birds will still sing
Your folks will still fight
The boards will still creak
The leaves will still die
We ain't angry at you, love
We'll be waiting for you, love
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll all be here forever
And we'll all be here forever
We sure will
[Verse 3]
We're overdue for a revival
We spent so long just getting by
That's the thing about survival
Who the hell— who the hell likes livin' just to die?
You told me you would make a difference
Well, I got drunk and shut you down
It won't be by your own volition
If you step foot outside this town
But it's all we've had
For always
[Chorus]
So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We ain't angry at you, love
You're the greatest thing we've lost
The birds will still sing
Your folks will still fight
The boards will still creek
The leaves will still die
We ain't angry at you, love
We'll be waiting for you, love
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll all be here forever
And we'll all be here forever
[Outro]
You're gonna go far
You're gonna go far
You're gonna go far
You're gonna go far
Yes, you are
(Ooh-ooh)
If you wanna go far
Then you gotta go far
[Instrumental Outro]
Edini čas, ko sem molil za rdečo luč
Je bil, ko sem videl vaš cilj kot rok
To je običajni pogovor, babe, vse je v redu
Tihi izračuni, kjer leži napaka
To je dobra dežela ali vsaj
Potrebna je močna roka in trden um
[Verz 2]
Otroci na fakulteti so tako mladi, kajne?
Popravljajo vso slovnico na razpršilni barvi
In celo opustil sem vožnjo po noči
Utrudil sem se od fratskih fantov z njihovimi svetlobami
To je dobra dežela ali vsaj
Potrebna je močna roka in trden um
[Pred-chorus]
Nasmehni me, ko se stvari težko
Ooh-ooh, boš daleč
Ooh-ooh, daleč boš od tu
In, medtem ko čistim sranje na dvorišču
Ooh-ooh, boš daleč
Ooh-ooh, daleč, daleč od tu
[Refren]
Torej, spakirajte avto, položite roko na srce
Recite, karkoli čutite, bodite kjer koli že
Nismo jezni nate, ljubezen
Ti si največja stvar, ki smo jo izgubili
Ptice bodo še vedno pele
Vaši ljudje se bodo še vedno borili
Deske bodo še vedno škripale
Listi bodo še vedno umrli
Nismo jezni nate, ljubezen
Čakali vas bomo, ljubezen
[Post-Chorus]
In vsi bomo tu za vedno
In vsi bomo tu za vedno
Zagotovo bomo
[Verz 3]
Začasno smo začasno
Tako dolgo smo preživeli samo
To je stvar preživetja
Kdo za vraga - kdo za vraga je všeč, da živi samo umreti?
Rekli ste mi, da boste kaj spremenili
No, pijan sem te zaprl
Ne bo po vaši volji
Če stopite pred to mesto
Ampak to je vse, kar smo imeli
Za vedno
[Refren]
Torej, spakirajte avto, položite roko na srce
Recite, karkoli čutite, bodite kjer koli že
Nismo jezni nate, ljubezen
Ti si največja stvar, ki smo jo izgubili
Ptice bodo še vedno pele
Vaši ljudje se bodo še vedno borili
Deske bodo še vedno potopile
Listi bodo še vedno umrli
Nismo jezni nate, ljubezen
Čakali vas bomo, ljubezen
[Post-Chorus]
In vsi bomo tu za vedno
In vsi bomo tu za vedno
[OUTRO]
Šel boš daleč
Šel boš daleč
Šel boš daleč
Šel boš daleč
Ja, si
(Ooh-ooh)
Če hočeš iti daleč
Potem moraš iti daleč
